| Summary: | The production of coconut milk powder could be carried out, even though the fat content of fresh
coconut milk is above 30%. The spray drying process was used with an air inlet and outlet
temperatures of 190°C and 90°C respectively. Additives were found to be necessary and suitable ones
identified in this study are skim milk and dextrin in the range of10% -15% w/w and 5% - 7% w/w
respectively. The product obtained resembles cow milk and can easily be reconstituted with water
either at 30°C or 100°C giving a homogeneous solution. The spray dried powder is stable during
storage in polyethylene package under room conditions even after three months, giving a satisfactory
reconstituted product. |
